No, and I have no plans to. I just wondered what you would us it for. If
it's backups, then I'm not convinced it's the best way to go, unless it's
an *extra*, not the main, form of backup.

If you are at the point where you need a new drive, a Blu-Ray burner is a
good bet. You can still burn all DVD and CD med*a AND Blu-Ray media, if and
when you need it. The cost of a Blu-Ray burner is on par with DVD burners -
I just bought a SATA LG Blu-Ray 14x burner for $60 USD.*
It is the best of all worlds. You only need extra software if you want to
deal w*ith burning Blu-Ray media or playing Blu-Ray movies. *

You can make changes to the cursor in Terminal > Preferences > Settings,
but I suppose you want to do more than that?

My son works at Honeywell writing software for computers that fly our planes and space vehicles. They are not allowed to use Apple products since they have a very firm rule that they cannot utilize hardware that can't be multiple sourced.

I worked in the Pharma industry for years. Initially their systems were set up with IBM mainframes with dumb terminals in the offices. They had their own e mail systems (the last company had 11 incompatible systems) and networks long before the internet came along (we had our own dedicated line from the US to Europe). When consumer PC's came available the organization mandated that all the PC's had to be IBM and the programs that ran on them. The scientific staff preferred Mac but the business and engineering staffs insisted on IBM compatible.
